Roxy
My cat Roxy has these weird seed-like things that I notice after she has been laying on my bed or the couch. They look like the seeds from hamburger buns. I have had a big problem with fleas since I have lived in the apartment, but I am following the vets instructions to apply Advantage every 3 weeks, and keeping the place vaccuumed. I also had the pest control place come in and spray for fleas about 6 months ago. Any idea if this is related to the fleas or if it could be something else she needs to be treated for? Thank you!

HI there,
THis is most likely tapeworms from what you describe. This is somethign that is contracted by ingesting an infected flea, so cats will commonly get this as they try to groom off the fleas. ( low risk for us as we are not likely to eat a flea!). Your vet will be able to help you with a treament for the tapeworms in either a tablet, injection or spot on liquid medicine. THe key to preventing reinfection will be to get rid of the fleas and it sounds like you are on the right track with that.
Good luck
